it's very hard to quantify sandy and the elections overall. macys said we had a record black friday, but it wasn't enough to overcome the effects of sandy. no longer will nordstrom do monthly sales. less than 20% of retailers now report monthly sales. it's really hard to gauge anything based on these retail sales number. you know the whole world was up? europe was up to a new high. boy were the bulls wrong on this. i was part of it unfortunately. in september and october, we were all bullish on china. a big restructuring, nothing's happened. that's why the market is drifting lower, concerns about bank capitalization rates, this calls for big buy backs on the main land. the grandfathers in shanghai who trade in that market are not trading as much, they're not as interested. every list i have seen is cash a percentage of market cap. usually it's about 7% and above. i see ray theon has a really good one. o'reilly automotive was another good one. >> thank you, bob. >> shadow inventory, that's down, copper developing, you can't get the copper. a lo

what if it had just been elect ed lee for mayor? would that fall within this definition? >> i would say it would. because if you have identified ed, if ed is not a candidate. >> right. >> and someone makes an effort, expenditure or other method to support that person when they are not a candidate, it should -- i think the average layman would say that is an inducement to run. >> why are we setting ourselves up for that ambiguity? why do we need to define "support?" >> if i may, i don't know that we necessarily need to define "support," but the definition of the draft committee really is a committee that spends or raises funds of $1,000 or more. so if it is just somebody who urges someone to run without raising funds, no money is involved. >> right. >> that would not be a committee. >> right. agreed. but what if they are not "encouraging them to run?" i mean we're still trying to capture anyone who is spending money to support the election of someone who is not a declared candidate, regardless of whether they are saying hey, mr. thompson, we really want you to declares a c
